The new console generation is set to launch with a bang, at least according to SONY. Fergal Gara, UK boss of the hardware giant, has told VG247 in an interview that the pre-orders for PlayStation 4 are at a level "we've never seen before."
"They're spectacularly up on the last generation," Gara said. "I think there are some naysayers out there who think console gaming's on the way out: if you look at the pre-order numbers you'd come to a very different conclusion. There's a certainty it's going to start with a big bang... If you go back a few months, the sheer level of demand wasn't really anticipated. It's the biggest we've ever seen. A level we've never seen before."
What does that mean for gamers thinking of picking up a PS4? Don't hang about, is the answer.
"The guidance we're giving to retailers and gamers out there is to get your names on that list," Gara explained. "Get on the preorder list. The earlier you're on the list, the earlier you're likely to get a PS4. We'll do our damnedest to meet that demand as quickly as we possibly can."
Gara also picked out Killzone: Shadow Fall, Watch_Dogs and Destiny as the next gen titles he's personally looking forward to most.
PlayStation 4 launches on November 29th. Clock's ticking.
